‘Dickwad Hams’ Quitting State GOP Post

Dick Wadhams on Monday unexpectedly dropped his bid for re-election as chair of the Colorado Republican Party, warning GOP leaders that their chances in 2012 could be “severely undermined” by a strategy aimed solely at uniting conservatives.

Wadhams said he had the votes to land a third term but in the past few days got to thinking, “What happens after I win?”

“I have loved being chairman, but I’m tired of the nuts who have no grasp of what the state party’s role is,” he said.

I dunno, he sounds like one of the few remaining rational people in the other party. They used to be mostly rational, you know, even if you disagreed with them. More recently, the know-nothings have forced the rational ones out, like the cuckoo bird fledgling forcing the real baby birds out of the nest. For the GOP to go all nut-burger, all the time, is bad for the rest of us.

Agreed. It was more of a play on the name. The GOP is full of dickwad hams.

I guess there were no Muzlims in Colorado. Hams kept Muzlims at bay, but now, they will invade like a swarm of hogs headed for the tough.

Beowoof

And no one likes hogs as much as the Mooslems.

You mean he was out trying to slam the ham. Oh no, was it in Ted Haggard's Dennys?

edgydrifter

Dickwad biscuits!

nounverb911

No more ham biscuits for Lindsey!

Better to be a dickwad than a teabagger, I guess.

Dickwad says, "I’m tired of the nuts."

But what does he think of the asshole?

zhubajie

Tired of being shat upon by them, I suppose.

ttommyunger

'Taint sure.

Beowoof

I believe he may enjoy giving the rimjob.

I’m tired of the nuts

Wait, with a name like "Dick Wadhams," this guy was one of the GOP moderates?

Wadhams built his reputation running successful U.S. Senate campaigns in Colorado, Montana and South Dakota. He returned to Colorado in 2007 after George Allen's 2006 Senate campaign in Virginia crashed in the wake of comments by Allen deemed racially insensitive.

The Republican nuts from 2006 are now sick of the Republican nuts in 2011? A little more of this accelerated insanity and we'll be pining for the days when moderates like Glenn Beck were influencing right wingers' opinions.

As I read your comment, my brain decided to queue up the generic marching boots/stuka dive whistle sound effect to enhance the ambiance.

Perhaps we are finally going to see Sarah Palin having a positive influence on the GOP, as everyone quits their job within the GOP to better focus on being contributors for FOX News.

Breaking news: Dick tired of nuts.

Nuts. Just hanging around, flailing about aimlessly while Dick was doing all the work.

Too easy.

MistaEko

Followup: Dick wishes we had a more firm grasp.

MadBrahms

"Dick wonders: What happens after I win?"

Roll over and fall asleep, probably.

Negropolis

"Dick rises to challenges, as nuts drop into insanity. More at 11."

"Sometime you feel like a nut; sometimes you don't."

freakishlywrong

Great. Now Dickwad will run as a bluedog Democrat and we'll be stuck with him.

PocketsTheClown

This is the most awesome newsday in a long time. THANK YOU KEN LAYNE ETC

Dickwad Hams is tired of nuts? He obviously isn't a real teabagger!

SorosBot

Dick Wadham's replacement is named Mike Hunt.

Vice-chair Seymour Butz is running as a write-in.

What, was Hugh G. Rection unavailable?

PsycWench

No. Neither was Haywood Jablowmi.

Angry_Marmot

Wilma Fingerdo gets the women's vote.

Negropolis

Mike Cunt taps Eric Shin as GOP director for women's outreach.

Come here a minute

Dickwad Hams sounds sincere when he says that he can't continue to serve as Republican party chairman because he has lost the desire to grasp nuts.

hagajim

"I’m tired of the nuts." Aren't we all Dickwad, aren't we all.

Oblios_Cap

They keep hitting the poor guy in the chin.

EatsBabyDingos

Singing that ol Seeger tune, "Against His Chin," which answers where the nuts were.

Not_So_Much

Regardless of the poor kid's given name, he always calls his intern 'Haywood Jablome'.

problemwithcaring

Move aside, Dickwad. Time to make room for the nut-craving Douchebags of the GOP's future.

jim89048

Almond Joy, Mounds, etc.

EdFlintstone

They need someone who really wants to be close to the nuts, like Dick Taint.

randoracer

Being from Colorado, I can tell y'all that that name couldn't have been given to a more appropriate person, although I suppose his parents could have called him Panty-wad Hams, Schmegma-wad Hams, Santorum-wad Hams or just plain Goat Fucker.

Steverino247

"Just Plain Goat Fucker" would be just a bit pretentious as who really needs four names?

Gleem_McShineys

Emily Litella is more upset about him getting a sex change.

"There's this, well, dickwad who says 'I have loved being a man, but I’m tired of my nuts. Who has no grasp of what the state party’s hole is?' That is just shameful!"

PsycWench

Scooter Libby doesn't understand the fuss about this guy's name.

sqeptiq

It could be worse. He could be named Dipshit McGoo.

CapnFatback

No more Dickwad Hams?! But I look foward to getting their catalog every Christmas!

ttommyunger

Dick, Wad, Nuts? Say it 'taint so!
